5/11/20150 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION  

Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said that, via Google, there are 2 skylights in the Historic Concordia neighborhood, both of which received Certificates of Appropriateness. Neither of those skylights are visible from the street. No COA was ever granted for a similar skylight in terms of visible from the public street. Ms. Margaret McCracken said that the skylights would add value to her property, public visibility is only 45 feet and no more, skylights will not be installed in a primary facade (southside and in the rear) and skylights are historic. If she can't install these skylights, it will adversely affect her interior renovations. Ms. McCracken argues that solar power is covered by state statutes. The Commission reviewed the visibility from the public area in its consideration. The skylight approval is not included as part of the motion. 		   Not available Meeting details Video Video
4/20/20150 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION HELD IN COMMITTEE

Minutes note: Ms. Hatala showed the 1983 photo of the house, as well as a current photo. Ms. McCracken would like to install 3 skylights in her roof for energy credit as well as more natural light for the third floor. The whole roof expanse is visible from the public right-of-way. Per the owner, the public can see them the most on the west side and the least on the east side from the street and sidewalk. The ventilation from the front to the back of the attic has been cut off, which poses a problem for the owner. Ald. Bauman moved to hold this to see if this is the first skylight that would be approved in the Concordia neighborhood that would be visible from the public. Ms. Hatala would research when the skylight was installed in the house behind this house. Seconded by Mr. Jarosz. 		Pass6:0 Action details Meeting details Video Video
